ATH Zurich
Zürich, Switzerland
The Sustainable Agroecosystem group at ETH Zurich and the Inorganic Environmental Geochemistry group at ETH Zurich/Eawag are jointly looking for a highly motivated Postdoc for a project on Nitrogen (N) cycling in the biosphere (soil, water, atmosphere) at the scale of Switzerland. The Sustainable Agroecosystem group focuses on the feedbacks between agroecosystem management options, biogeochemical cycling, food system functioning and global change, and the Inorganic Environmental Geochemistry group investigates biogeochemical cycling of elements across environmental compartments, including soils, aqueous systems and the atmosphere, with focus on health-relevant trace elements.
Project background
The inevitable decarbonization of energy production will increase atmospheric concentrations of reactive N species like NOx and ammonia (NH3) due to the transition from fossil fuels to the production and combustion of biofuels and biomass. This increase...
